Release Notes:
The closing track on the Strugglers' The Latest Rights is called "My Slow
Reflection", and it's a title that's pretty damn emblematic of leader Randy
Bickford's artistic mission as a whole. His entire aim here amounts to a
deliberate examination both of clear, concrete moments and diffuse philosophical
states, each impression turned over and parsed with exquisite care. The
ruminative, metaphysical bent of North Carolina-based Bickford's alt-countryish
musings is only emphasized by his cracked, weary voice (invariably likened to
Will Oldham's, though being deeper, Bickford's instrument is often closer to
Eddie Vedder's), slow-shuffling musical accompaniment, and long lyrical lines.
